A frontline politician and youth leader in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area Mr. Eric Ekwere has charged youths of the area to support the present the administration of Governor Udom Emmanuel and his entire cabinet members in other to move the state to an enviable height.
Mr. Ekwere made the call when he played host to a cross section of youths from Ikot Abia Enin in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area during the Traditional Marriage between Miss Mary Christopher Udobong and Ubong Udoh over the weekend.
He said that the Governor has done enough to win the hearts of Mkpat Enin people, he described the ongoing road construction project at Ikot Osop- Ikot Ediehe, the Coconut Refinery all sited in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area as living touching projects that will bring about development and job creation to the youths of the area when completed.
“Governor Udom is a man that means well for the whole State and of course we all know that ONNA Local Government Area is our brothers, so it will be wrong for us to support someone else. Aside from being our neighbours, the Governor has also been able to deliver on his campaign promises by bringing in some industries which has helped in creating employment for our teeming youths. We know the administration is just one year and few months, there is still time for him to do even more, so we need to remain resolute in our support for him”.
He concluded by saying that the People of Mkpat Enin have not been left out by Governor Udom Emmanuel in terms of appointment as several sons and daughters of the area have been given vital portfolios to manage in the present government.
In their response, the youths of the area described Eric Ekwere as a young man with a good heart who means well for the people of Mkpat Enin and promised to work and support the policies of the Governor even beyond 2019.
Mr. Eric Ekwere, a successful entrepreneur had earlier made similar call of drumming support for Governor Udom Emmanuel and his entire cabinet at the burial ceremony of Late Mrs. Angela Harrison Afia at Eka Nnung Ukim still in Mkpat Enin Local Government. He urged youths, women and elders of the area to be law abiding, prayerful, industrious and to embrace the DAKKADA philosophy of the Governor.
He said that the Governor was not playing politics with the development of grassroots but said that the People must do all within their powers to protect government projects when they are built in their various communities as this will motivate the government to bring more projects.
